Well to me, when I shoot a jump shot, I think of keeping my righht forearm vertical, my right hand fully spread out, bend down into the ground and fire....fire for me is jump from my chest to my legs, then my toes and then my arms, hands, and then fingers for a nice smooth roll and follow-thru.
My aiming point is either the front or back of the rim or the glass.
The more I think about it, the jump shot starts with the ball arm power package assemble going downward, then it loads the lag and fires the hand into their spot where they can release.
Thats hands controlled pivot, right? Thats what we do in golf in this same method...let the hands take the body where it needs to be. Your right about the power thing, I was trying to relate it to me. I can develope centrifugal force as my hips lead going down, but when it doesn't lead, even though I'm swinging, my right arms wants to hit!
Thats right Trane,
We are talking about Procedural Ease to sink the shot and not power sources in this topic.
As to diagnose whether you are hitting or swinging - without the aid of a video clip - can you answer the following questions? This is the triage!
================================================== ================================================== ====
Are you flexible, meaning can you get your hands on plane to above your right shoulder at the Top?
Do you think you are fast like say a speedboat or powerful like a tugboat?
Would you describe your stroke as more 'around' as opposed to more 'up and down'?
As you are reaching impact, do you feel as if you are cracking a whip or driving a spike into the ground?
Do you just let 'it' happen and hold on or are you consciously driving 'something' into the ground?
In the backstroke, do you feel like you are carrying a rock back or whirling a bucket of water back?
